I would prefer to use install -D like elsewhere to ensure usr/sbin is
created, and then move the mkdir -p just above the _TARGET_BINS loop.

I accept fully that as the lead developer on BR you're free to choose
and enforce any set of rules as you see fit.  However, contributions
under pseudonyms have long been a part of Internet culture.  Isn't that
name just as valid as any other less suspicious-looking (but equally
unverified) names that are on any other patches?
Will you insist on this real name policy?

OK, v2 on the way.

I'm afraid so. Signed-off-by's don't make any sense if they are clearly
made up names. I agree that we cannot ensure that people don't make up
names, but atleast we try.

This is nothing special to buildroot, you'll find lots of other projects
requiring it, expecially the ones doing kernel-style
signed-off-by's.

E.G. from the kernels Documentation/SubmittingPatches:

then you just add a line saying

        Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org>

using your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.)

And U-Boot:

http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2011-January/085905.html

And anyway, it's an illusion to think that you can truly remain
anonymous on the internet. Based on your mail headers I would say you
work for Verifone in their London based office. That combined with the
fact that you use Evolution on FC15 probably narrows it down quite a
bit.
